if you are rooted, look for a folder named .android.secure on your Glide's hard drives. That folder contains apps that are moved to SD card. I see mine on /sdcard/external_sd/.android.secure

Hi, even if this thread is an old one, the same issue happened to my phone:

I can't use the internal memory to move apps because they are uninstalled every time the phone is rebooted. What is the clue?
[LG Revolution] magesticschu:
So for some reason I was charging my phone last night and it rebooted while charging... Then ever since then my soft key buttons will never light up ever. I rebooted. Hard reboot. Re flashed gingrrvolt. Idk what else to do. I've had issues with soft keys staying lit up 24 7 but a simple power off and on fixes it. But this kinda annoys me that I cannot fix this. Any help??
[LG Revolution] magesticschu:
OK so the soft key lights do work as I unplugged my battery while it was on and charging and then the soft keys started to blink on and off. But then reset my phone and they still won't turn on... Ugh so frustrating.
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
Shine a light in the sensor.
[LG Revolution] magesticschu:
Wowwww it's fixed... All that work for nothing. Haha. Thank you.
[LG Revolution] Haro912:
No problem. That will happen on almost every reboot just an fyi
[LG Revolution] Mig1234:
What I did was: go into display and lower the brightness. Take the checkmark out.

Just out of curiosity, for anyone who bought the app, how many themes are included and do you believe it is worth the donation. I have no problem supporting devs but at this point I would probably be supporting their work for the gnex so I'm just wondering about this app. Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] RipplingHurst:
I used to use my Galaxy tab 7 3G (sold) with my other AT&T Sim cards. I used to be able to make calls from it, but now I'm planning to use a Galaxy Note instead.

However, I could also try to use an 8.9 (planning to buy a 4G one from ebay) and with root, delete the efs folder (if I really need to) and get to use the sim card from an iPad 3G for instance (or from an AT&T phone). Both would be grandfathered unlimited plans. Would that work? I suppose so, although I'd have to cut the SIM Card I believe (the 8.9 uses micro sim cards, right?).

Anybody have tried something like this?

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Croak:
EFS (and carrier locking) is different on the Qualcomm MSM8660 devices than what you may be used to on Hummingbird/Exynos devices. So have a care trying to nuke the EFS folder. I'm assuming your goal is to spoof AT&T's IMEI database to keep your grandfathered plan, and I suspect you'll have disappointing results.

And just in case you didn't know, unlike the original GSM Tab, there is NO voice capability on the 8.9 (LTE or otherwise) unless you're doing some sort of SIP/VOIP.

Finally, the 8.9 LTE uses standard SIM cards.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] RipplingHurst:
Thanks. So it seems less likely that it's worth getting an ebay unit (since I plan to pay monthly for service anyway). I talked to a manager at an AT&T store and he couldn't set my grandfathered iPad 3G plan into the Galaxy tab 4G no matter what. He tried and couldn't do it. He could transfer my unlimited grandfathered PHONE service into a Skyrocket, but not a tablet.

I didn't want to use it for voice anyway. I just didn't want to pay for a grandfathered unlimited service for tablets (iPad) AND another plan just for the G. Tab 8.9...

I wonder if I'll brick it if I just nuke the efs folder, I'd just try it and if it didn't work I would just put the folder back on. But with no ROM available, this may be indeed too dangerous to try.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] Croak:
The stock ROM is available on Sammobile.com. If you root the device, you can make a backup of the EFS directory. It should be safe to experiment.

If the worst happens and you lose the EFS data, it'll still work just fine as a WiFi only device, and it'll still be faster (quite a bit) than the under-powered Tegra 2 WiFi only version you were looking at.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] orlandoxpolice:
rooting and making a copy of your efs is extremely safe if you read
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] RipplingHurst:
Thanks guys. I ended up buying the ATt combo 8.9 tab plus skyrocket. Coulnd be any happier. I thought there weren't any LTE service heren the suburbs of ne CA, but im getting 26.9 Mbpsdown and 11.81 Mbps up. The 100-68ms png kills the experience a bit,bu I'venever seensuch speeds via mobile network.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] gregh2000:
Probably depends on what sim I know I tried to use my regular phone sim with unlimited data and in the galaxy tab 7 and it worked.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] mlee1999:
Has anyone been able to get this to work? Would love to use a Galaxy Tab 8.9 occasionally with my LTE phone data plan. I don't need voice like on the original GST.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] RipplingHurst:
Update.

So my usage went to 75% of my allocation in 10days. Not happy. I did a lot of streaming videos (Vevo), but nothing I hadn't done before with my iPad 3G (unlimited) or iPhone 4 (unlimited). However, I have been using Google Music A LOT these days (I have a 250GB music library, 35k songs, if I take the classics, the wife's Pearl Jam "every live performance" fan club files, I can easily squeze 20K songs with Google Music.

However, my usage went through the roof.

So today I just deleted the ESF folder in the hopes of using another SIM card with it. I popped off the iPad's 3G I still have (unlimited data plan). Got 4 backups of such folder (office, server, dropbox, mainPC) plus two in the tablet. Just to be safe.

So it turns out that it didn't work as planned. With the Galaxy Tab 7, after reboot, I would get a new EFS folder with a generic IMEI. That's how I could make call, text, with my cell phone SD card (AT&T wouldn't let me pop my SIM card into it and make it work as a phone).

Now I don't plan to use it as a phone, I just wanted to replace my iPad with the 8.9. AT&T wouldn't let me use my grandfathered plan (I even offered to pay full price, but), so here I am.

What happened is that the EFS folder is rebuilt just like the previous one. The same IMEI remains. However, I got a different "phone" number and the AT&T app shows 46MB of 9999757606912GB remaining. That is, A LOT.

However, speeds dropped considerably, even with the "4G" icon lighted up (not 4GLTE though), to about the same speeds as the iPad 5000 Kbps up, 1k down.

I'm expecting any minute a text or call from AT&T and in that case I'll cancel the iPad 3G plan and pop the LTE SIM card back and use it only for email for the rest of the month (plus tether with my skyrocket, but I have just received a txt saying now I'm top 5% (also "unlimited").

Will see what happens. Any ideas what I should try next?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GatorsUF:
The way I understand it is this...

Google spends a TON of money developing the Android Platform. It was orginally and continues to pride itself on multi tasking. That said they didn't just forget that programs running in the background could drain the battery. Android manages your apps perfectly and to think they would leave it up to a 3rd party software to assist the OS is a joke. App management software is bad, all bad.

More people come on here asking why their phone suddenly died, and majority of them have app management programs. Don't know if they are causing the issue, but it seems possible.

Hope that helps

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samnoon:
I'll run through a history:

- Rooted my phone to S-OFF and installed a custom ROM

- Installed another custom ROM after running a 'super wipe' script

- Decided I wanted to go back, tried to get to clockworkmod recovery but I couldn't get to hboot

- Tried to re-root, got halfway and it failed. I could now get to hboot but when I get to clockworkmod recovery it shows an error logo with a danger triangle sign. When I try to boot it just stays on the HTC logo.

- The first time I tried to load Clockworkmod it said it couldn't access some /cache/ directory and now it just shows the warning icon with no error message.

I think I need to reinstall Clockworkmod, then use that to reinstall a ROM. I heard it's possible to do this by flashing a zip file from the SDcard and loading hboot. How can I do this?

Thanks!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ABorgh:
That red triangle is HTC's recovery mode. You should manage to get root via one click root and then flash clockwork normally. In the app.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samnoon:
Thanks. What exactly is one click root? Have googled it but not sure which it is.

I think you might mean this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857537

But that seems to require that I can boot into a ROM in the first place? I can't get past the HTC logo at all.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ABorgh:
No that is S-OFF. You need S-OFF if you want to flash custom rom. This is what I meant http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=803682
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samnoon:
Thanks again. Just to clarify, on hboot it tells me it's 'S-OFF' at the top of the screen. I should run the one click utility anyway, right?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marsdta:
I don't think superone click works on dhd but I could be wrong. Haven't read up on it in a long time.

But back to original question on hand. I made a guide in the general section for this exact issue. It titled stuck in hboot. Their I have a link for cwr in a pd98 format(flashable through hboot).

It should work for you. I did notice that the modelid in the txt is different but was told it should work for dhd with no modification but I have not confirmed as I have an inspire. If it doesn't work let me know and ill make the change quickly and uplaod a new one. Its a simple change. If you want to can try. Simply change the model I'd to pd98100000 from pd9812000

I have a similar problem. I tried to flash a galaxy rom on to my htc evo 4g and now my phone wont boot up. I actually need instructions on how to do this. When I try to flash recovery it goes into HBOOT and also goes into bootloader. But when I try recovery it goes to the white HTC Evo 4g screen and immediately goes back to Hboot. Iv tried to download a clockworkmod custom recovery img and flash it as a PC36IMG zip. It finds the zip and says parsing PC36IMG but doesn't ask if I want to flash it and goes back into bootloader. I renamed the recovery image "Recovery" and the Zip "PC36IMG" as instructed from a different website. I can ONLY use this method because my micro port is broken.

Also when I downloaded the recovery image there were two choices. Recovery image and recovery touch image. We should I go with?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alicarbovader:
I tell you how to over come this:

1) Throw your phone into the trash can

2) Buy a new one

3) Come back to xda

4) Read all the tutorials once again

5) Read them again

6) Re-read them

7) Now do whatever you want.

This method works perfectly for any noob...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glevitan:
Sorry but what are you talking about an EVO 4g in the DHD forums??...BTW, in the zip file you need a .txt file to be able to be flashed. If that file is missing then the hboot will never detect the .zip file.

Besides, if you have an unlocked bootloader you won't be able to flash recovery in that way. You can do it using fastboot flash commands...

Most important thing, doesnt cover the whole sides of the phone, so doesnt seem so bulky :)

Exclamation ICS camera framerate issue?

I just recently installed the ICS[RC1] build on my captivate, I love it but I just noticed some quite serious issues and I am surprised to know that they haven't been mentioned yet, may be no one else had these but anyway here they are:

1. The camera frame-rate while recording a video is extremely slow compared to the rest of the ROMS which are not ICS based. I verified this a couple o times and it really is very slow, not only in 720p but also in 480p. Also, I cannot pause a video while recording it. I mean it can only be stopped and NOT paused. Now, I don't know if you can do this in the real ICS but i think it is quite an important feature which should be there.

2. The flash player doesn't work properly. In opera, dolphin, boat or any other browser while viewing in desktop mode. I can watch a video but I Cannot go full screen, the whole browser hangs and I have to restart it.

Someone please check if he/she is having these issues or not, I love everything about this ICS port but these things really bother me. Also, these issues were also present in the teamhacksung build[10]

I haven't updated my phone yet it is still running EG30 so that might be useful. I'm wanted to root and install a recovery but I'm kinda worried about these modems and kernels not being compatible with each other and all the people bricking their phones. So my question is how should I go about rooting this and getting a custom recovery so I can flash Caulks or CM7 on this?

I've never used ODIN I don't really like the idea of having to plug my phone into a computer everytime I want to flash something but if it's the best way to root then so be it.

I've been watching his video's. I was thinking about doing the auto root but I don't know which kernel/cwm to flash I think is my problem. Do we have a way to root the newest update? Should I just update and root from there and then apply the newest kernel and cwm?

I'm coming from a EVO 4G so this isn't what I'm used to exactly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] crimeslunk:
If I flash a new el26(?) kernel and still have the old modem won't I run into problems? I'm a bit confused about this whole set up and how it relates to the roms instead. I know on the evo the Radio and Kernel sometimes ran into conflicts but it was simple to flash a new Kernel or Radio then re-flash a rom to fix it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] brianhot1:
Well to be honest im not to sure im just stock rooted when u update you still can root the phone, all I did was just update my modem to ek02 to match the update, that's what the update put you on is ek02, im not really into flashing roms and things like that
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Judah001:
I rooted my phone through Odin with El13. I like the Odin method and you only have to do it once to gain root access. Since then I flashed a different kernal and changed to SL26 through CWM. What I would recommend is finding a QBking77 rooting method on YouTube and its that easy. Once its rooted you can flash different kernals, modems, and roms through CWM that work best for your phone. QBking77 videos make it really easy to understand.

Very old news haha, but they dont anymore not after an update i think it was like 3 something or even 2 something. but anyways none of them have the ability to install any OS anymore unless you downgrade but then its pointless because you cant play games because they require new update and newer features as well that that the newer firmware has incorporated. So unless you got PS3's your SOL.

I'm not too sure if you downgrade and install the OS and then update it if it'll work or not.

I even had limewire on the thing xD then the update came out like 2 years ago and they said to make sure you erase any partitions because you won't get that data back but I tried to call their bluff because how can they take a feature that some people OBVIOUSLY bought it for (I honestly didn't want a ps3 back then cuz the games were wack. I bought it cuz I thought it'd be awesome to treat my gaming system as a PC and use those six cores) but the update ate the 20 or so gigs I had for linux :( and now I always have 55GB instead of 80 :( and I can't ***** because they warned me rofl.

But I got over it when the fly games started coming out. I always looked at it as "well people that bought the first ps3 only gots 60 gigs total and that's before partitions come into play so I have adequate memory" ahhah but I do miss linux. I didn't know how to use it at first and now that I think about it it was kinda like android o.O
